Thank you for the insight sir...the first two images are of the same individual (one with open wing)...

Yes I should have seen the number.

I just managed to figure out Evans' description of the Ypthima.
The pages in the online book have been misplaced ie page 75 is followed by page 77 & then page 76 then page 78 so I could not follow the sequence.

Y. watsoni ;UnF discal fascia forms a loop under the the ocellus thus not visible at rest; wsf with very large ocelli ;striations coarse.

Y. asterope; ocelli in wsf small ;striation fine ;UnF also have a loop.

2.could also be a form of Y. watsoni but it look more like Y. lycus.
The HW ocelli are more or less in line ;the straiton is variable depending on ssp.The whiter diffuse fasciation suggest Y. lycus.

Evans' statement that the HW apical & tornal ocelli are in line for Y. nareda /newara & out of line for Y. inica are rather confusing.
I have pick out examples which suit the description except for the ocelli alignment.
